Can you tell us more? Like setting details? Is there a website link you can drop yet?That is the dark wuxia game (just a note I don't believe that release date is set in stone). I love Osprey books and was very excited to work on a project for them.
It was time for just such a game, if you ask me!When I worked on Righteous Blood, Ruthless Blades, we timed the combat because we wanted a fast, Gu Long style of fighting. We also aimed for brevity in the entries (to make them easier to run at the table but also, again, to get more of a Gu Long style). Righteous Blood also takes place in China itself. It isn't set in a fantasy world.

Yoon Suin is a personal favorite. So, so good. If you like these, make sure you check out Hill Cantons/Marlinko material from Hydra, as well as Operation Unfathomable.I've picked up a few sandbox settings on PDF: Gardens of Ynn, Yoon Suin, and Ultraviolet Grasslands. Have just started on UVG and digging it's weirdness so far.
Cheers. I love Jason's stuff so OU is on the list. Been reading the Canton's blog for a long time, and was going to grab Misty Isles, but went for Gardens of Ynn instead. But Isles and Marlinka are also on my ever-growing "to get" list. Hot Springs looks great too. Too much OSR goodness around.If you like these, make sure you check out Hill Cantons/Marlinko material from Hydra, as well as Operation Unfathomable.
Did you back the Kickstarter? This sounds up my street but I’m not seeing it in the usual places yet.Ultraviolet Grasslands. Have just started on UVG and digging it's weirdness so far.
No, just grabbed the pdf from DTRPG.Did you back the Kickstarter? This sounds up my street but I’m not seeing it in the usual places yet.
Ah, I see what happened now. The free intro book is published by Hydra Cooperative, whilst the full book is published by Exalted Funeral. At first, I only though the free intro was available.No, just grabbed the pdf from DTRPG.

Question about Songling, BedrockBrendan... any plans to put out more adventures? The four in the rulebook are terrific, and this is a game that I think works particularly well with published adventures (since it leans away from sandbox play). Especially the notion of ten-and-done adventures lends itself well to campaign volumes.
I was thinking it might be about as big as the rulebook if we're using adventures the size of the ones included, but on second thought, it might be bigger than that. The rules are awfully compact...just how I like 'em.A book of ten adventures could be a possibility but that would require each adventure be fairly short in length (unless the book were pretty big).
Jealous - I’m a backer but probably won’t see it for a few weeks yet, being the wrong side of the pond

I basically finished reading the book today without going through all the adventures. It just holds together so nicely so I really hope it gets exposure - I was quite disappointed and a little surprised that I didn't see it on the bestseller list.

Yes, I noticed this a while ago when I saw two items on the bestseller list that were in opposite order of how they were listed on the $5 or Under list. Since the cheaper one was ranked higher on the latter list, I realized that the only thing that could explain this, other than an error, was if the bestseller list was really a Highest Revenue list. That of course also explains why Monte Cook's latest exercise in gaming hubris ranks on that list at all (I'm too poor and prudent to know if it's any good).We got up to number 12 for a little bit, but the bestseller list is based on the amount a book makes, not just the numbers sold (unless they changed the formula recently). If I had set the price at 12.99 instead of 9.99, it likely would have boosted a little higher on the list for example.
It actually beat the notice that they had started shipping by a day, so it was a bit of a surprise walking out to head to the grocery store and finding a large package on the porch.
This is something I almost passed on as initially I had little interest in the idea of random generation of an adventure. The more people talked about it the more it grew on me as a solution to many problems encountered in the real world of playing games with people who have actual lives. It seems well suited to pick up games or a solution for those game sessions where half the players in a group call off at the last minute.
A lot of this stuff is going to make TFT a very good game for introducing new people to RPGs.
I've played a fair bit of GURPS so the basics are familiar, but I never played TFT "back in the day". It has a very funky sci-fi / fantasy vibe to the assumed setting which I didn't expect, but it is growing on me.
Pretty much the only way my friends and acquaintances could get me to run a fantasy RPG would be if they agreed to play The Fantasy Trip.TFT specializes in delivering the goods at the table, whether or not you have prepped some elaborate story line or boss fight. There are lots of games that have a better sales pitch or sound cooler in white-room analysis, but not many that are as consistently entertaining to actually play.
Cool. Let me know what you think of the changes. It's a pity it isn't retro-compatible with the cards for 1E.So after going to my old address in NYC (which was my own fault), getting sent back to brettmb, and finally being mailed to the right address, I finally got my copy of Two Fisted Tales 2E in the mail today.

Got Tunnels and Trolls and WEG Star Wars.
Thanks to Gringnr for the notice about the old Corgi paperbacks.

And it lends itself well to publishing at least 6 more adventures!Question about Songling, BedrockBrendan... any plans to put out more adventures? The four in the rulebook are terrific, and this is a game that I think works particularly well with published adventures (since it leans away from sandbox play). Especially the notion of ten-and-done adventures lends itself well to campaign volumes.
Do you mean they have any reservations, perchance?Pretty much the only way my friends and acquaintances could get me to run a fantasy RPG would be if they agreed to play The Fantasy Trip.
Very nice.Do you mean they have any reservations, perchance?
...thank you, I guess? Not sure why you found it particularly funny.Very nice.
